A petition to the Governor-General for the prerogative of mercy is not a right of appeal protected by s25(h) NZBORA or art14(5) ICCPR and does not prevent the Minister from lawfully deporting the applicant under the Immigration Act; no illegality or sufficient prejudice was established to justify declaratory or prohibitory relief, and finality of the immigration statutory scheme weighs against staying deportation.
